Yes, it is a loaded question, but what is the general consensus towards the final wording of the patent law and whether software is effectively disqualified.
Please note that there is no "final" wording of the "law" yet. The vote in the European parliament was about a proposed directive. That proposed directive is not active yet, so it still can be changed.
It's a bit worst than that. This was the first reading. Before the second reading, the europarl must agree with the council of europe and the comission on the final result. Unless we are extremely effective at the national level at this moment, all the victories we had until now can be undone.
